Midsolve quite harder than 2* for me. Maybe I missed an easier deduction. Very fun puzzle. Thanks :)

You are much welcome, Christounet, thank you for your comment! The mid-solve surely has an increase of difficulty compared to the opening (nothing too complex, but a little heavier on the scanning). I was not quite sure myself, but testing suggested it should be 2* and I did not think it was 3* overall. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!
Kind regards, sujoyku
